NBA Draft Looms, Trading Season Begins
With the NBA playoffs now over NBA teams may start making trades. Any big trades this off season will likely happen before the draft as the Celtics look to acquire a star.
Other NBA teams have made inquiries about potential trades but it is clear that the Celtics have the most to offer and teams looking to sell are very well aware of that.
Woj reported recently that the Celtics have contacted the Bulls, Clippers and Cavaliers regarding a potential multi team trade. No other details were given. Of course all of these teams have been in rumors for the past few months.
The Kings were the center of a lot of trade talks just a few weeks ago but have reportedly said they are not looking to move Cousins.
The Clippers have struggled to get out of the first 2 rounds for years and with Blake Griffins, well issues last year he is clearly on the block at this point. The Cavaliers are looking to shake things up quick before LeBron realizes his chance to win in Cleveland are slim.
If the Cav's were to move Love they would be able to do any of the following: Acquire another star, Acquire a better bench, Clear cap to make a run at free agents, Collect picks to either use or trade.
The Bull's have also been in a lot of trade talks as Jimmy Butler is reportedly not happy in Chicago right now. Nothing official has come through and things may be getting better as Butler did represent the team at the NBA Draft Lottery.
